In response to "LIR: mandy" by oblique, better than nubby

I think that figuring things out in real-time is great for infrequent issues. but when two people's entire wordlviews are just completely opposed,

it's not possible.

there is this girl in my class who just doesn't see eye to eye with me, or me with her. every time we talk, someone winds up attacking someone else. so we just don't talk. it's easier. there are only 85 people in my year; why be tense around one of them constantly?

see?

I understand. I think there are people here who I am diametrically opposed to in many ways as well. But I can talk with them here and not get myself - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 12:12 12
- I think that you are less often victim to personal attacks than am I. certainly less often than is jack. if it's infrequent, again, - posting from class loves mandy lane Feb 17, 12:16 3
  - not at all. *breathes* I also, from my outside view, don't think you're being attacked as often as you think -- nm - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 12:18 2

    - not since I stopped attacking people who were prone to attacking me. -- nm - posting from class loves mandy lane Feb 17, 12:20
- But not everyone is like you. Some people can't do that, and find it easier to avoid. - ty97 Feb 17, 12:15 7
  - I agree. If that was the case though, there wouldn't be a problem, would there? - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 12:16 6

      - To lay it out, the one's I've seen and can speak to involve - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 12:21
    - *seriously*? "be more like me" is your advice? fab. -- nm - posting from class loves mandy lane Feb 17, 12:18 2
      - I can only suggest that maybe your way isn't working so well - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 12:20
      - How is that different from "Everyone should ignore people like I do?" -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 12:18
    - There are problems because this place is made up of humans. - ty97 Feb 17, 12:18

- There's also truth to the idea that those people you hate/ignore do not share the same feelings towards you - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 12:15
- You have some blinders on too sometimes. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 12:14 1
